Hi, this is Daisy Jessop. The three best pieces of advice that I saw included reading. I have always loved to read so I don't think that will be too big of a problem for me, but the thought of reading twelve books each trimester sort of stresses me out. Though, since we're all in honors, then we should be able to do a pretty good job of reading a lot. The second piece of advice was to relax, this class is more advanced yes, but that doesn't mean we have to stress about it too much. This should be a pretty easy class so there isn't much to stress about. We just need to relax, it will just make it harder if we're stressing out about everything. The last, and possibly most important piece of advice was to not procrastinate! Like I said before, this class shouldn't be too hard for us. Unless, we procrastinate. I seem to always do this, just make up an excuse to get out of doing my work. It always catches up to me though. I have to do it anyways, every time. It just makes it a lot easier for us if we don't procrastinate so that is one of the things I am going to have to work on.

       I have never really liked writing. I thought it was stupid and hard. Now that I've gotten older though, it has gotten easier. I prefer to write from a prompt, because then I actually know what to write about. I am terrible at coming up with topics by myself. There are too many things to write about! With a prompt there to guide me in what I have to write, it makes it so much easier for me to stay focused on writing. I started writing in school. When I was younger I did not like writing at all so I didn't do it in my free time. I wrote essays in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, although I can't remember if I did essays in third and second grades. When I got a little older I sometimes started stories but I never finished them. That got me a little better. It was pretty good practice. I guess I will just have to see how my writing improves over the year. I bet that this year will get me a lot of information that could really help my writing to become better than it is right now. So, that is all for this post. See you next time though.
